Wigan 1-1 Portsmouth: Draw at the DW Stadium
Monday 28 August 2017 11:31, UK
Paul Cook saw Wigan Athletic lose their 100 per cent Sky Bet League One record against his former club as Portsmouth came from behind to claim a feisty 1-1 draw.
Both sides finished the game with 10 men after red cards for Chey Dunkley and Gareth Evans.
Gavin Massey provided the perfect through-ball for Ivan Toney to slot home for the hosts with just eight minutes on the clock.
Toney almost found the net again shortly after but Luke McGee in the Pompey goal kept his effort at bay.

Nick Powell then smashed a shot off the bar before McGee denied the former Manchester United man just before half-time as Wigan upped the ante.
